“The total cash and investment resources held within the College and the Foundation, and this binding Deed of Understanding between the College and Foundation which strengthens the commitment from the Foundation to support the College, provides reliable assurance to the directors that the College remains a going concern and therefore the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of these financial statements remains appropriate.”
